Definitions
- Cables are used ubiquitously in the downhole drilling and completions industry. These cables are used for enabling a variety of downhole conditions and parameters, such as temperature, vibration, sound, pressure, strain, etc. to be monitored. Due chiefly to their pervasive use, there is an ever-present desire in the industry for alternate styles of sensing cables, particularly for enhancing the ability to more accurately sense a specific parameter such as strain.
- a sensing cable including an outer cladding; and at least one sensing bundle contained within the cladding, each sensing bundle having a sensing fiber wrapped strain-transmissively by at least one strand.
- a method of sensing strain including deploying a cable having at least one at least one sensing bundle contained within a cladding, each sensing bundle having a sensing fiber wrapped strain-transmissively by at least one strand; and transmitting strain to the fiber via the at least one strand.
- FIG. 1 is a prospective view of a strain-sensing cable according to an embodiment disclosed herein with a cladding partially stripped off
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the cable of FIG. 1 ;
- FIG. 3 is a prospective view of a strain-sensing cable according to another embodiment disclosed herein.
- the assembly 10 includes at least one braid or bundle 12 for improving a strain-sensing capability of the cable 10 .
- each of the bundles 12 includes a fiber 14 that is wrapped with or surrounded by a plurality of strands 16 .
- the fibers 14 are arranged for sensing one or more downhole conditions or parameters such as temperature, pressure, strain, acoustics, etc.
- the fibers 14 are optical fibers.
- the fibers 14 in the form of optical fibers, include fiber Bragg gratings for enabling the aforementioned sensing capabilities.
- the strands 16 are included to facilitate the transfer of strain directly to the fibers 14 so that the cable 10 can be used, e.g., to measure strain in a tubular string or downhole component.
- the strands 16 are wrapped, wound, or secured, e.g., helically, spirally, circumferentially, etc., about each of the fibers 14 .
- the number of the strands 16 and the number of turns of the strands 16 per unit length of the fibers 14 may vary in different embodiments.
- the strands 16 are stainless steel, although it is to be appreciated that other materials can alternatively be used that exhibit good strain transfer capabilities (e.g., resiliency, ductility, etc.) and resistance to downhole conditions (e.g., maintain good strain transmission to the fibers 14 in high temperature or high pressure environments, etc.).
- the bundles 12 in the embodiment of FIG. 1 are wrapped or wound, e.g., helically, spirally, circumferentially, etc., about a core or central wire 18 .
- the gauge, material, properties, etc. of the central wire 18 can be selected for setting the properties of the cable 10 , such as ductility, flexibility, conformability, radial compression strength, tensile strength, etc.
- the bundles 12 are interspaced about the central wire 18 with a plurality of tubes 20 .
- the tubes 20 could be optional in some embodiments and that any number of the tubes 20 and the bundles 12 could be included in any desired arrangement or pattern (e.g., a sequence that is alternating/non-alternating, repeating/non-repeating, randomized, etc.).
- An internal passageway through ach of the tubes 20 enables, e.g., one or more sensing fibers 22 (e.g., resembling the fibers 14 but without the strands 16 ) to be located within the tubes 20 for sensing a variety of non-strain related properties (e.g., temperature, pressure, acoustics, etc.).
- the tubes 20 and the sensing fibers forming assemblies according to known fiber in metal tube (FIMT) techniques by sealing one or more fibers resembling the fibers 22 within the tubes 20 .
- the tubes 20 may be filled with a gel or fluid to aid in the operation of the tubes 20 and/or the cable 10 .
- the tubes 20 also play a role in setting the properties and performance of the cable 10 , for example, by increasing the compressive strength of the cable 10 in order to avoid the cable 10 collapsing in high pressure downhole applications.
- ones of the tubes 20 could be replaced with solid wires resembling the central wire 18 , that the central wire 18 could be hollow and resemble one of the tubes 20 , or other modifications could be made to the cable 10 .
- the cable 10 includes a cladding or sheath 24 to further protect and set the properties of the cable 10 as well as to maintain the assembled arrangement of the components (e.g., to maintain the strands 16 , bundles 12 , and tubes 20 being wrapped around their corresponding components).
- a cavity 26 formed by the empty space within the cladding 24 located between the bundles 12 , the central wire 18 , and/or the tubes 20 can be filled with a polymer or other filler material, e.g., for achieving the aforementioned objectives of the cladding 24 .
- the filler material in the cavity 26 is a plastic elastomer, such as that marketed under the trade name Hytrel® and made commercially available from E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (DuPont).
- FIG. 3 An alternate embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 3 , namely, a cable 10 ′.
- the components of the cable 10 ′ generally resemble those in the cable 10 and have thus been numbered in accordance with the above-discussed embodiment where appropriate. While the bundles 12 are spirally wrapped in the cable 10 , a plurality of bundles 12 ′ in the cable 10 ′ extends axially within the cladding 24 in a non-spiraling manner (but otherwise resemble the bundles 12 ). A plurality of tubes 20 ′ are also shown extending axially in a non-spiraling manner, but otherwise resemble the tubes 20 discussed above.
- the bundles 12 ′ and/or the tubes 20 ′ in the cable 10 ′ may extend straight along the central member 18 , in parallel with the central member 18 , concentrically with the cladding 24 in lieu of the central member 18 , etc. It is noted that a cross-section of the cable 10 ′ would generally resemble the illustration of FIG. 2 .
- the cable 10 ′ may have particular benefits, for example, in a shape-sensing application in which strain measurements by the fibers 14 are utilized in calculating or determining the shape of a component about or with which the cable 10 is installed.
